Another interesting viewpoint. Again this man is patching silicon to the glass roof that was installed in the art room extension. I was actually photographing different exposures of surounding buildings to try HDRI, when suddenly I saw this guy.

Kim Ngan is a senior student and taking advance photography. In this photo, I purposely cropped the left side of her face to introduce continuity and gave the area were she is looking more room. Effects has been added in photoshop to create texture.

Nick is an advance photo student with a really nice camera. He, together with his father, are in magazine business. Nick often takes some shots for his father; therefore photography is not just in his classroom but rather in his part time job. I always enjoy working with Nick, because of his passion with this subject.

In this photo, I love the drama of the light and shadow in his face as well as the line created by the earphone on the leftside of the composition...

Photo No. 6 is up. "Genuine Laugh". One of my favorite shot so far in terms of showing genuine emotion. Here in this session, Vu Anh- a Vietnamese student" was giggling and laughing, because of his first time to be in the limelights of many cameras- in short camera shy but loves it.

Here is my Photo No. 4. "Drawing". I am not actually sure who is this student, but the main thing here is capturing the actual action that is going on. I focussed the camera on the pencil using shallow fstop value (2.8), with maximum zoom of the camera.

Here is my Photo No.3 "Kajol". She is a Grade 9 student from India. The tripod with camera is always in the middle of the class, while drawing students are doing their project. Here is a moment when I focussed before hand the camera to Kajol while doing her work. I called her and when she look at me, I click the shutter of the camera. "Voila".... this was really a candid shot.

Continuing the series "100 faces of my art room" here is my Photo no.2 "Erin". Erin is a digital photography student, the daughter of our pastor. I took this photo while our whole class are doing a lot of lighting and exposure test. Each student must pose like a model and the whole class will photograph each other. The location of this photography session was on out new art room extension.

I'm doing a photography series called "100 Face of my art room". This was originally a lesson I designed for my digital photography students. The title of the project was "100 Faces of....." It's up to the student what interest they want to fill on the blank area. Some of them responded like "100 Faces of Sick people", "100 Faces of my Family", 100 Faces of Vietnamese women" and so on and so forth. I love the lesson so much and I could see how much my student enjoy documenting and photojournaling those subjects of interest. Because of this, I decided to join them by doing what is easily accessible to me "Our Art Room". So here are some of the Photographs I have done so far.. Im still far away from reaching 100, nevertheless, I will continue in posting them here.

Photo No.1 "Smudge Technique"

This is Katelyn. She is a Grade 9 drawing student. I love the way she focus her eyes while using the tissue doing some smudge technique. Our lesson during this time was "value using graphite pencil'.
